Michigan Motorcycle Safety Alert

Michigan’s roads saw over 3,100 motorcycle crashes and 168 deaths last year — a slight uptick from the previous year — with 60% of accidents occurring during the summer months. Warmer weather means more riders, but also more risks: distracted drivers, wildlife, and hidden hazards. Experts stress constant awareness and protective gear, as sliding on pavement isn’t fun. The state’s 2012 repeal of its universal helmet law correlates with rising fatalities, reigniting debates on safety and personal responsibility. As summer riding season begins, the message is clear: stay alert, know your surroundings, and keep your bike safe — because the open road is thrilling, but safety must always come first.
